Re: Displaying error messages in DDS Window.

Sure - not as much fun as RPG, IMO, but very doable. I've done this with PRTFs - same idea. You use the native I/O functions (_Ropen, _Rread, etc.). You set your format(s), write to them, and badaboom-badabing-there you are. Check your C Programming and Reference manuals. You might also post on the C/C++ mailing list here.

You should also look at the Applicaton Display Programming manual, esp. if you've not done RPG, for the concepts pertaining to this exercise.

I'd have to think a bit about having the window go away on its own.

I'm writing a ILE C application and would like to output all error messages to a DDS Window instead of using printf to output them to STDOUT. I would like for the window to not require user input and just display for a set amount of time then go away. Does anyone know if this is possible?
